While parts of the country are lifting stay-at-home orders and allowing restaurants to open for outdoor service or at reduced capacity, the D.C. area is still a step or two behind. That’s OK, though, because the June Ultimate Coffee Date Deborah and I host is fully compliant with all social distancing guidelines–you don’t even have to wear a mask. 😉

It’s strange writing about my workouts this week, how many miles I ran this month, and our weekly bike rides when there are truly important issues demanding my attention. I don’t have any answers to the anguish, anger, violence, despair, injustice, hopelessness and outrage that’s weighing on my heart. I know not knowing what to do is no excuse for doing nothing.

With reports of 700-1000 new cases a day in Virginia and 30-40 new cases a day in my city, I am trying to keep calm at the thought of more people being out and about and content to stay home.

This shocking pink always brightens my day. Continue reading
